yard sale weekend

saw big doings in the neighborhood -- the first annual "attic in the street" sale where a number of houses all had yard sales.




we sold some stuff (about $80 worth) and some stuff went to charity or the dumpster. we tried to sell jack, but no one would buy him -- even when he was priced to sell.
just kidding, of course. jack was a huge help attracting customers. and we had all kinds, including a minivan full of brazilian women and a couple of cuban diplomats. truth is stranger than fiction.
daddy and jack missed the beginning of the yard sale because they had to go to the doctor for a check on jack's infected ears. the good news is that the right ear is doing a little better. the bad news is that the left ear is doing worse. that means jack had to start amoxicillin. it's the gentlest of the antibiotics on the tummy, so hopefully it won't wreck the improvement that's been made to his gi tract. and we're continuing probiotics, so that should help too. jack is tugging more on that ear and hitting that side of his head when he drinks his bottles, but other than that, you'd never really know the kid is sick. what a tough guy!
mommy is at work sunday, and so the boys are doing their "boy things." but mommy's hoping they can come up to nbc for lunch if she's not too busy and they're not too busy!

  1. I hope Jack feels better soon. Alas, I am working today too, but I don't get any baby visits (well, technically, since we only have 1-8 cell babies incubating here, they don't come visit us :)) I do have to say that you look FABULOUS Lici. I know you will find something wrong, but I just think you look great and so happy in those pics! Can't wait to see you guys sometime in the near future. I miss you!
